Excerpt: "Joseph Campbell talked of heroes and seekers going on a 'vision quest.' The quest is motivated by some unease or trauma compelling the seeker to leave the familiar and routine in search of a solution or resolution, thereby entering into and grappling with the luminal forces that obstruct the rescue or rejuvenation, and then, after overcoming those forces, returning back home to the familiar but now seeing it in a whole new way. Steadily improving teaching and learning is like an ongoing vision quest."
